Water Connection
If you are an Shell Scheme Exhibitor with an Eco Booth stand and require a water connection to your stand, please note that if the water pit/connection is not in your stand and rather needs to be brought in from behind your stand wall, there will be a cost to create a connection through the wall as it will require creating a hole in the wall for the connection. The cost for creating a water connection within the stand wall is € 210 euros
Please contact RAI Exhibitor Services directly or call +31 20 549 1928 to arrange this.
